Answer 2

Answer: The explanation of cartoon is given below:-

Explanation:

• The previous governmental and social order was known as the Old Regime.
• It existed over much of Europe throughout the 18th century;
• countries were controlled by absolutism
• the monarch had ultimate power over the government;
• classes of people, both privileged and unprivileged, existed throughout the continent
• Persons who were not privileged were expected to pay taxes and were treated poorly, whereas people who were privileged were not expected to pay taxes and were treated well.
• This artwork depicts "the people" as a guy who is blinded and chained and is being crushed beneath the weight of the wealthy, which includes clergy as well as royalty.
• This viewpoint on the time period before 1789 purposefully exaggerates class distinctions and would have had very few proponents prior to the Revolution
• nonetheless, the picture does illustrate the deep social conflict that the revolutionaries felt.
